## Transcript

In his dystopian novel 1984, George Orwell wrote, quote, the party told you to reject the evidence of your eyes and ears. It was their most essential, most final essential command, unquote. Well, we saw earlier this week in Helsinki. What was truly an Orwellian moment. What we saw earlier this week in Helsinki is what happens when you wage war on objective reality for nearly two solid years, calling real things fake and fake things real, as if conditioning others to embrace the same confusion. Ultimately you're rendered unable to tell the difference between the two, and are at critical times seemingly rendered incapable of thinking clearly.

Your mind, a hash of conspiracy theory and fragments of old talking points, deployed in response to a question no one even asked. Ultimately you fail to summon reality in the face of a despot. In defense of your country. If ever there was a moment, to think not of just your party, but for the country, this is it. This is not a moment for spin, deflection, justification, circling the wagons, forgetting, moving on to the next news cycle or for more of Orwell's double speak Know when the American government offers an onslaught on unreality, it puts the whole world at risk. That is the lesson of Helsinki.

That is the dose of reality that hit hard. We have indulged myths than fabrications. Pretended that it wasn't so bad and our indulgence got us the capitulation in Helsinki.
